The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house and getting the decoration right is key when it comes to getting a cozy and up-to-date place.
It is true that over the years, the importance of the kitchen inside the house has changed considerably. Until a few years ago, it was a place that only served to cook. Today, It is a room where friends or family usually get together to chat or have a drink before eating. In the following article we are going to talk about the trends in what refers to the design of kitchens for this year 2021.

Both the sustainable and the natural will be present in many kitchens. The ecofriendly style is characterized by the use of countertops made from natural stone or by furniture made from wood. The materials that predominate do not harm the environment and go perfectly when decorating the kitchen of the house. Terrazzo or microcement predominate, combined with soft tones such as gray.

More and more people choose to integrate the kitchen into the living room of the house. In this way, all the space in the house is used much better. The open concept style will continue to be a trend in 2021 and for years to come. These types of kitchens tend to have a minimalist style and opt for neutral tones like white or light gray so as not to stand out from the decoration of the living room.
Black kitchens
They already set a trend last year and are still in fashion during the year 2021.

The industrial style is going to be fashionable in the decoration of the houses and in a room such as the kitchen. Stainless steel countertops will predominate along with brick walls and burnt cement pavement. The combination of colors such as gray and black are also part of this type of decorative style. Burnt cement is a material that stands out for being quite resistant and durable, as well as being easy to clean. There are people who choose the aforementioned burnt cement as the main component of the countertops.

The normal thing with regard to the front of the kitchen, is to paint it the same color as the countertop.

Although I am not an expert in interior decoration, from what I have seen in other specialized sites, I believe that the aforementioned trends have been fulfilled by 2021. At least so far this year.
Notwithstanding the above, there is a style not mentioned in the post and that is very much in vogue this year. It is about the japandi style. As I understand it, it is a combination of Japanese and Scandinavian styles. I really love this style.
